I want to get both these at the same time. I am quite a long ways from goal but I am going down fast. I was just curious what weight I could be when I just start going in for my consultations. I was thinking 180. Let me know what you all think or know. Thanks in advance! :D

I know my doctor wanted me as close to my goal as possible. He wanted me to be within 20 pounds, but every doctor is different.

Then I went and gained 30 pounds over the 2 years after I had my stuff done!!

I just had both done and was within 10lbs from ultimate goal. I weighed 174 at time of consult and Dr. said as long as I was happy and within 10lbs he was good with that. I am very glad with results and timing for my weightloss was good for me also.

Good luck

Doc told me to have mine within about 15 pounds of my goal weight. Had a lower body lift about 4 weeks ago. I'm also happy with my timing. It's amazing how much different you look. Even though I still want to lose 15 or so pounds, when I tell people that, they say "where?". The tummy is where it's AT!

does anyone know if ins will pay for the TT and breast lift since it's due to the weight loss?

I think it probably depends on your insurance. I know mine won't pay anything. Then again, they didn't pay for my lap-band surgery either. Most insurances won't pay for any kind of cosmetic surgery.
